1. Public universities
The first category is the most understandable "university", which is actually a public university funded by the state or local government-Université.
Similar to our domestic universities, public universities in France are generally multidisciplinary and comprehensive research universities with comprehensive coverage of teaching majors.
The professional application and admission of French public universities are mainly material review, and most of them can be admitted only by applying for materials, without additional examinations. Representative institutions include University of Paris IX, Paris XI University, Sorbonne University and Strasbourg University. 2. Large schools
The second category is ——grande Ecole, a "big school" under the elite education system in France.
Different from the task of popularizing higher education in public universities, the main task of French universities is to cultivate elites from all walks of life in France. The difference between the two can be clearly seen from the graduation certificate issued by the school and the enrollment process.
The application and admission of big universities are much stricter than those of public universities, and generally need to pass written tests and interviews. For French students who are going to apply for a university, they need to prepare for the two-year preparatory course Prépa before they are eligible to take the entrance examination. Representative institutions include Paris University of Political Science, Paris Institute of Technology and Paris Business School.
